🌊 AnyParser

AnyParser provides an API to accurately extract unstructured data (e.g., PDFs, images, charts) into a structured format.

🌱 Set up your AnyParser API key

To get started, generate your API key from the Sandbox Account Page. Each account comes with 100 free pages.

⚠️ Note: The free API is limited to 10 pages/call.

For more information or to inquire about larger usage plans, feel free to contact us at [email protected].

To set up your API key (CAMBIO_API_KEY), follow these steps:

1. Create a .env file in the root directory of your project.
2. Add the following line to the .env file:

CAMBIO_API_KEY=0cam************************

💻 Installation

1. Set Up a New Conda Environment and Install AnyParser

First, create and activate a new Conda environment, then install AnyParser:

conda create -n any-parse python=3.10 -y
conda activate any-parse
pip3 install any-parser

2. Create an AnyParser Instance Using Your API Key

Use your API key to create an instance of AnyParser. Make sure you’ve set up your .env file to store your API key securely:

import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from any_parser import AnyParser

# Load environment variables
load_dotenv(override=True)

# Get the API key from the environment
example_apikey = os.getenv("CAMBIO_API_KEY")

# Create an AnyParser instance
ap = AnyParser(api_key=example_apikey)

3. Run Synchronous Extraction

To extract data synchronously and receive immediate results:

# Extract content from the file and get the markdown output along with processing time
markdown, total_time = ap.parse(file_path="./data/test.pdf")

4. Run Asynchronous Extraction

For asynchronous extraction, send the file for processing and fetch results later:

# Send the file to begin asynchronous extraction
file_id = ap.async_parse(file_path="./data/test.pdf")

# Fetch the extracted content using the file ID
markdown = ap.async_fetch(file_id=file_id)

5. Run Batch Extraction (Beta)

For batch extraction, send the file to begin processing and fetch results later:

# Send the file to begin batch extraction
response = ap.batches.create(file_path="./data/test.pdf")
request_id = response.requestId

# Fetch the extracted content using the request ID
markdown = ap.batches.retrieve(request_id)

⚠️ Note: Batch extraction is currently in beta testing. Processing time may take up to 12 hours to complete.
